It is generally accepted that families are not as close as they used to be. Give some reasons why this change has happened and suggest how families could be brought closer together.

Many people around the world agree to the fact that families nowadays do not spend a lot of

time

together, the way they used to spend earlier. Improper

work

-life balance and a hectic schedule are the main culprits due to which family members are unable to spend

time

with their loved ones.

However

, the situation can be improved by introducing certain corporate rules to ensure a balanced lifestyle and by altering the

work

timings or introducing

work

from

home

policies so as to avoid busy schedules. Many people have an opinion, that if they

work

overtime and hard, they are sure to gain success. As a direct consequence of

this

unbalanced lifestyle, they are not able to devote sufficient

time

to their family.

Also

, the superior's pressure to meet the deadlines, compels a person to

work

overtime and by the

time

he reaches

home

, he is (he's) completely exhausted.

Secondly

,

office

employees spend a lot of

time

commuting from

home

to

office

and back, which often causes complete exhaustion.

Hence

, many would simply have their dinner and hit the bed so as to get up on

time

for the

next

day.

For example

, 30% of

office

commuters in Mumbai, complained that they do not get sufficient

time

to relax with their loved ones, due to their busy schedules. In order to solve these problems, company management could introduce rules,

such

as a mandatory vacation of 2 weeks every six months so as to ensure that an employee gets a chance to spend quality

time

with his family.

This

would

also

be beneficial for the employer, as his employee would feel rejuvenated and recharged upon his return.

Secondly

,

corporates

could introduce

flex

work

timings, so that

office

workers can commute during non-peak works to avoid travel related stress. It would be much more advantageous if a company

allows allows

make it possible through a specific action or lack of action for something to happen

allows

its staff to operate from

home

, as it would help the commuters avoid the daily hustle of travelling and use the same

time

to complete their

work

.

For example

, a recent survey by the Ministry of Employment

in

India, stated that employers found their staff to be twice as more productive when they operated out of their house. In conclusion, improper balance between professional and personal life and a hectic and busy schedule are the primary reasons because of which, family members are not able to spend enough

time

with each other.

Nevertheless
